• Project acronym: CPER LCHN

• Project title: CPER “Langues, Connaissances et Humanités Numériques”

• Duration: 2015-2020

• Coordinator: Bruno Guillaume (LORIA) & Alain Polguère (ATILF)

• Participants: Dominique Fohr, Denis Jouvet, Odile Mella, Yves Laprie

• Abstract: The main goal of the project is related to experimental platforms for supporting research activities in the domain of languages, knowledge and numeric humanities engineering.

MULTISPEECH contributes to automatic speech recognition, speech-text alignment and prosody aspects. This year we have also developped a complete system for the transcription of English broadcast TV shows to participate to the MGB challenge.

• Project acronym: CPER IT2MP

• Project title: CPER “Innovation Technologique Modélisation et Médecine Personalisée”

• Duration: 2015-2020

• Coordinator: Faiez Zannad (Inserm-CHU-UL)

• Participants: Romain Serizel, Vishnu Varanasi, Emmanuel Vincent

• Abstract: The goal of the project is to develop innovative technologies for health, and tools and strategies for personalized medicine.

MULTISPEECH will investigate acoustic monitoring using an array of microphones.

• Project title: Control of the movements of the lips in the context of facial animation for an intelligible lipsync.

• Duration: February 2017 - January 2018

• Coordinator: Slim Ouni

• Participants: Valerian Girard, Slim Ouni

• Funding: SATT

• Abstract: We propose in this project the development of tools of lipsync which from recorded speech will provide realistic mechanisms of animating the lips. These tools will be available to be integrated into existing 3D animation software and existing game engines. One objective is that these lipsync tools fit easily into the production pipeline in the field of 3D animation and video games. The goal of this maturation is to propose a product ready to be exploited in the industry whether by the creation of a start-up or by the distribution of licenses.
